Re: Who from Phx will NOT be seeing Fever Ray at Coach?

I do not like Karin's voice and her lyrics could have been written by a kindergartner. All the cool beats and wicked lasers and creepy costumes in the world can't change that. "Concrete Walls" is the only Fever Ray track I like, probably because of the heavy vocal effects.

Re: Who from Phx will NOT be seeing Fever Ray at Coach?

Completely agree about the lyrics. It's a really uneven album and doesn't come close to Silent Shout, but it's got a couple of really good songs and plenty of atmosphere to spare, which I go for. I wish the rest of it was as good as "If I Had A Heart." Her set seems like it would be very memorable.

Fever Ray is amazing live. I didn't get the hype when one of our photographers was RAVING to no end after seeing Fever Ray open for Royksopp in London and after I gave their album its initial spins. The album grew on me and decided to check them out before their L.A. show. Once I saw Fever Ray at the Glass House in Pomona (near the front, center), I HAD to see them again at the Fonda in Los Angeles (Which was sold out and the day after Pomona). I got in when the photographer's sister flaked and I got the extra ticket. This time I was in the back but still a great show. The YouTube clips are nostalgic but does no way represent what the live show was like being there seeing it for yourself. You don't have stand in the front with all the board people but at least chill for a song, give it a chance and check it out. It was a great show from both angles and probably your last chance to see them as Fever Ray before Karin goes back to doing The Knife. Just sayin'.
